Hi there!

#

Which API call are you trying to make?

#

And can you share the exact error you get?

rose jasper Oct 9, 2023, 10:01 AM

#

yes

#

{
"error": {
"message": "Invalid API Key provided: sk****************************************************************************************************3kyf",
"type": "invalid_request_error"
}
}

#

#

i have this error with all api call

gray python Oct 9, 2023, 10:06 AM

#

Well the error is pretty clearn, you are using the wrong API key.
To solve this, I recommend:

Visit your dashboard here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/apikeys
copy your TEST API key (sk_test_xxx)
And use that in your API call

I am the developer of a CMS and at the moment I don't have my client's test key at hand, but I had already tried and received the same error

#

I have several dozen customers and everything works for them, he is the only customer who has this problem

#

Can you try with curl instead of Postman?

rose jasper Oct 9, 2023, 10:09 AM

#

just a moment

gray python Oct 9, 2023, 10:09 AM

#

Something like this, jsut to test:

curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers \
  -u sk_test_xxxx: \
  --data-urlencode description="My First Test Customer"

rose jasper Oct 9, 2023, 10:11 AM

#

i don't use curl usually

#

i have to install it

gray python Oct 9, 2023, 10:12 AM

#

It's not installed by default on your machine?

rose jasper Oct 9, 2023, 10:12 AM

#

no

#

ok i have curl

#

but doesn't work

gray python Oct 9, 2023, 10:16 AM

#

What's the error?

rose jasper Oct 9, 2023, 10:16 AM

#

i have syntax error in the request

gray python Oct 9, 2023, 10:16 AM

#

Can you copy-paste the code I shared above, and only replace the xxxx part?

#

This code please:

curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers \
  -u sk_test_xxxx: \
  --data-urlencode description="My First Test Customer"

rose jasper Oct 9, 2023, 10:17 AM

#

with my api key live

gray python Oct 9, 2023, 10:18 AM

#

If you don't have the test api key, then yes

rose jasper Oct 9, 2023, 10:19 AM

#

gray python Oct 9, 2023, 10:21 AM

#

Sorry can you try again like this:

curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers \
   -u sk_test_xxxx: \
   -d description="My First Test Customer"

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

rose jasper Oct 9, 2023, 10:32 AM

#

yess

#

hello

hushed shell Oct 9, 2023, 10:33 AM

#

sorry but I don't think curl is the best thing here, since you're using Windows PowerShell

rose jasper Oct 9, 2023, 10:34 AM

#

and what i have to use?

#

i have never used curl

#

😅

#

i always use postman

hushed shell Oct 9, 2023, 10:46 AM

#

postman should be fine

#

would you mind sharing the request ID that failed?

#

#

you've just shared your secret key on a live channel

#

you need to go now and roll your keys

rose jasper Oct 9, 2023, 10:59 AM

#
